Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Welcome to our second installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. For those new to the site, it is a simple question and answer segment that covers everything from the serious to the absurd. So why do we call it that? Tradition, is the easy answer as we basically have veered so far off course that it barely has any resemblance to the original format. Thanks to our members for some of the ideas on the questions, we tried to include most of them or some semblance of them. Well enough of the small talk from me, let’s see what the girls have to say about a number of topics ranging from FPL dilemmas to who is cuter?
Morning manages, things are looking a bit grim for me this coming week.
I have 1FT and 0.6m in the bank, any suggestions?
Why the hell do you still have Benteke?
Swap with Vardy and Pelle.
Pelle, Martial or Costa – Vote please ! (Have Ighalo and Gomis as my other strikers)
Costa I think. Chelsea must start performing at some point and will put a run on. Pelle does have some decent fixtures. Martial could really go either way though does seem like cheap United coverage if they maintain form
Lol I love everyones blind faith in Chelsea, and the oath Costa. Has Costa even shown any hints at all that he has found any form? If he has I musta missed that? Half of you scrambling to get him thinking what? He might do what sanchez and aguero did? The difference here is that those two are world class, where as costa would look at home with Rooney in a pub league. Are Spain even playing him at the moment? im pretty sure they dropped him for now
Blind faith? What are you judging it on a handful of games. When was the last season Chelsea did not finish in the top four. Yeah Chelsea have not shown much form so far. Or maybe you just recommend players on their last game
Well with fantasy, in form players are key are they not? Go with Costa im sure he will pay off for you.
And it is blind faith, if you choose to ingore the facts and their first 8 games of the season then yea its a legit choice I guess. Hell I was good football when I was like 12, maybe I will find my form next week also
Meh they probably will get a top 4 finish but I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt.
maybe im harsh, he has skill and is a good player. Just not right now, I dont see it. If he makes next GW ultimate team I will eat my hat
Chelsea as a team have not turned up yet. They will at some point. Costa was second top scorer last season though don’t get a lot of bonus love. You are right about form but players like Vardy and Pelle are not capable of doing business every week. You need them at right time
Pelle for me would be the form guy but either Sturridge or Costa could be better for squad composition as it’ll be easier fitting Aguero back in with a high costing forward sitting there in his place, if you go the Pelle route I’d be wary of spreading to much of the value saved into other areas of your squad as it might make bringing the little Argentine back into your team tricky.
I am leaning towards Costa. He’ll be hungry. ^_^
Same here Raz, leaning towards Costa as a differential and is a proven goal scorer, if you think Chelsea’s poor form is going to continue whole season with Chelsea finishing 15-16th than you’re wrong this is MOURINHO and I am fairly confident he will take them to Top 4 and with injury of Ivanovic it all seems better 😉
It’s a risk but if you want to take lead in mini leagues you have to take risks and I will do it 😛
Costa did recently say he was overweight so he probably will be hungry :pity:
Morning all.
I hate international week nothing but problems.
Was planning on doing pedro to payet and gomis to pelle. Now got all sorts of problems.
Got 2ft 0.7 in the bank
Glad I didn’t use my transfers at the start of the week.
Any advice ? Help lol
aguero > pelle
gomis > vardy
pedro> mane, eriksen, payet
defenders idk?
Gotta work out whats most urgent to fix, pelle will score against leicester so I would say he is the most urgent you need to get in.
Then I guess you need to fix your defence, im not sure who has the good fixtures. If I was you I would probably make 3 transfers, aguero and your two defenders. I dont like gomis in the slightest but I guess he could get some points but I would get him out and pedro as soon as you can without taking too many hits. One of those two will probably get some points next game week though
those defenders how injured are they? No chance next week they will be fine again?
Cheers Luke. Evans 75% hamstring problem.
Naughton the same but personal reasons
Nyom knee injury 50%
maybe by the next gameweek one of them could be back to fitness or something? If you can, then wait till next friday or something. Would suck to take one out who comes fit again, if you do make hits though it would be nice to recoup the points and with defenders thats never going to be an easy feat. If you had 3 attackers to swap, you could net some points but taking those hits for 2 defenders is hard justified. Say you take one out and he did get a clean sheet so what 6 points. -4 for transfer only 2 points left, which is what your bournemouth defender might get anyway unless they concede many goals.
clean sheets hard to come by anyway.
So in hindsight, maybe only transfer out one defender this week and just accept you aint getting a clean sheet vs city
and Farncis gets assists and stuff ocassionally. If you wanted to be an optimist
mane or sanchez? Which one, money is not an issue.
Got to be Sanchez
Sanchez. More explosive and captain material.
yea I really like Mane, but I think its gonna be Sanchez. This will be my mid:
Eriksen, Payet, Walcott, Sanchez & De Bruyne
Sick
If I have Walcott I would go with Mane !
Made a mistake by making transfers before the international week, Should i remove aguero for pelle this week or wait untill next week.
I’m Already on -8.
You call an 8 point hit before the IB a mistake? You’re giving yourself too much slack. 😉
Another 4 point hit? Shrugs, might be fun for the bank and your h2h opponent. ^o^
I hope that next GW is a standard 20 point week. All the hit embracing chumps will drown. B)
A -8 is enough for one GW, I’d leave Aguero on the bench for the next fixture now.
hari, you’ve been loooose on transfers, i can see.you already have ighalo to fill up for aguero..why thinking of another hit?just a bit of suggestion(you look like a veteren in this game though), always look for the probable difference in points after the hits vs playing the current players. for a profitable business, a replacing player should fetch you atleast 7 points. your bench looks good to play too… no further hits for me bud.
Thanks Constantine, Andy and Raziel. As you said, I think im good to go this week and i’ll bring in pelle next week .
Yes do it.
I think i already took too much hit. If its going to be a low scoring week as u said , i’ll probably fall down in rankings and its first time this season im within the 1M rankings.
Hi everybody. I’ve been away drowning my sorrows after that Scotland game. What an absolute killer. My best mate’s new girlfriend who I’d never met came in as it happened and I completely blanked her and everyone else for about an hour, I was so distraught. Still hurts actually.
So, anyway, what’s the general consensus on Aguero? Anyone in the know?
Most people will be selling him I’d imagine with the injury being a hammy.
